[edit] Premature?

I'm not sure this article is appropriate as yet, since I don't think that it's gone past the proposal stage. Not sure if it should be deleted though. Mister.Manticore 16:42, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

At some point in the future we should have a page about ext4. However it is too early right now. So I've changed it to a redirect. If we did put it up for deletion and it was deleted, someone would just come along and replace it. So, IMHO, a redirect is good enough for now. AlistairMcMillan 19:01, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
 : Sorry I didn't read the discussion before re-creating the article. But I'll let it stay there if you want to remove it any way.

Yeah, considering that the page you linked to is from 1997, I don't think it's a valid inclusion anyway. Maybe in terms of historical perspective, if there is actually an EXT4 added to the Linux Source Tree. Until then, the redirect is best. Mister.Manticore 04:31, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] OS's?

Is it sure ext4 works on BSD and Mac OS X? I seriously doubt that. Can anyone bring more clarity to this matter, so we can remove those OS's if needed? Ludootje 10:23, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

If ext3 works, then parts of ext4 may work. But when using stuff like extents, you first need to add support for that to the BSD/OSX kernels. Read the paragraph about backward/forward compatibility. -Jen 15:46, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
